Update: Yes, Greek Funstival is this weekend

Since we hadn’t heard a peep out from the folks who run the Greek Funstival this year, I thought maybe the event, a fundraiser for St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church, had been moved or discontinued.

But when Steve Hahn asked me about it on my weekly “RJ After 9″ segment on KISS-FM’s “Lisle & Hahn Morning Show,” I figured I’d better check it out. Especially when he said some folks had brought some promotional baklava by the station. They wouldn’t do that if they weren’t having the festival, obviously.

Sure enough, the festival is running in its usual time and place — today through Sunday on the church grounds at 2504 N. St. Mary’s St. The gate admission ($3) is the same it has been for more than a decade.

Here’s the info. And folks, please, send us a listing next year. Or call. Anything to jog our memories here in Weekender Land. We’re not exactly crawling with extra staff these days, and we don’t have time to do pro bono PR legwork. Thanks.
